they wouldn't be rare if all these were shipped to Australia 
 
instead of European Countries where salt is added to the roads for the ice in winter...

I am interested in the old books. I have one from 53 where they let a young art photographer into the factory and there is a whole book of great
photos. 
It is packed away so I dont know what it is called at the mo. i do know it it volume 2 and I have been looking for vol 1 for years now.

C'mon kids gather round, 
there's a new sensation hitting town, 
It's moving straight, low to the ground, 
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.
